MN: Fonseca could ‘relaunch’ previous formula due to Pulisic injury | OneFootball

AC Milan will be without Christian Pulisic for a few games it seems, and Paulo Fonseca is tempted to relaunch a previous idea with the American absent.

Against Atalanta, Pulisic left the pitch early in the game due to injury, and reports are suggesting that the attacker could miss the next few weeks, and a return in 2025 could be possible with the Supercoppa having to be considered.

For this reason, Fonseca must make a new step, one without Mr. Reliable, one that he has not made before.

As a result of this, a change in personnel is required, but it may also bring a change of system. In recent weeks, the Portuguese has often used a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1, but with Pulisic absent, his ability to properly utilise this system may be limited.

So, a return to the 4-4-2 (although Fonseca still sees it as a 4-2-3-1) could be on the cards, according to a report from Milan News this afternoon.

Despite using Ruben Loftus-Cheek in Bergamo, the old formula could be ‘relaunched’ by the head coach after seeing some early success with it. Should Fonseca attempt it, Tammy Abraham could return to the picture alongside Alvaro Morata with Francesco Camarda also available.
